Ah yes, they're installing surveillance equipment in all TVs and cars nowadays! Of course! Now, why not open up a new TV and find me the videocam. No no go ahead I can wait...
I love that, let's make an outrageous claim and provide zero evidence to back it up.
In addition, there is little doubt in my mind that all of the newer wide-screen High Definition TVs you find in retail outlets today have both tiny cameras and audio detection devices covertly installed within them so the NSA can both SEE and HEAR everything that goes on in your home.
OMFG some people are completely retarded. That's as far as I got, and unlike those who complain about not getting that 30 seconds of their lives back, I think this 30 was worth it. Comedy like that is hard to find. I can't believe somebody actually typed that while being serious, and that someone else, with the mental ability to use a computer and the internet, thought it was a good idea to post it here. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a dumb $#%^&!@ society we've got in this country. I can't get Mo Vaughn's voice out of my head. "Stupid Boston fans, just stupid" Wow are we in trouble. To think that these people's vote counts as much as mine. Even worse, imagine that they can procreate!
Gaddamit, I wonder if all the service techs are NSA agents?

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."

The Peoples Republic Of Cambridge:
Many people in the Harvard Square area of Cambridge and many people working in Cambridge City Hall REFUSE to have Cable TV in their homes, they believe the CIA can see into their homes and their bedrooms through the Cable.
I have a friend in Cambridge that masturbates in front of his TV, he's 86 years old.

In The Absence Of Law And Order Society Will Surely Destroy Itself
Man, I went back to read some more. Like I said, good comedy is sometimes hard to find, and this is CERTAINLY good comedy.
From the comic book:
Quote:
The conversion boxes that they are offering with those free government coupons will surely have the same detection and surveillance devices which I assume are being installed in the newer HD TVs.
Do I have proof? No, but common sense tells me this is where it's going and it fits with the escalating evidence of the Big Brother, police state controlled society which we are being forced into.
I'm EQUALLY confident that covert monitoring/tracking chips have been installed in all automobiles manufactured since perhaps 1990 (maybe even beginning in the late 80s).
How to get around it? I haven't thought it out much, but here's a few ideas off the top of my head:
First off, did the author say common sense?
Second, no sh1t he hasn't thought about it much, but how about this for the top of his head?
It goes good with yellow too.

1. Don't buy the newer HD TVs and don't get their conversion box. Forget getting TV from broadcast or cable or satellite directly. One idea is to watch TV shows from your older computer with currently availabe TV reception hardware/software (newer computers probably have the surveillance devices installed) or send the video and audio from the computer into the AV jacks on your TV or VCR.
Oh crap. It looks like I'm $#%%@!. I not only bought a new computer late last year, but I bought a new TV 3 weeks ago! Oh no!
By older computer, does he mean one of these?
Well, maybe that's a little too old. How about this technological beaut? It's an Apple though. Will that cause some compatability issues?

Sheesh, this guy isn't just an Einstein, he's an Adam Smith too!!!

2. Watch TV shows from programs previously recorded on VHS tapes or from DVDs using your older TV and VCR equipment. This could become a cottage industry overnight if enough people become aware of the covert surveillance agenda riding along on the coattails of the forced conversion to High Definition digital television.
One question though. In 2009, can I really watch the news from 2003 on VHS? (not that this guy could probably tell the difference)
Hmm...um, how about taking some action on the 2004 World series? I bet you $1,000 the Redsox win. I'll even predict against who, and in how many games. How about it? Want the action?
